Product Description
McSweeney's is privileged to publish William T. Vollmann's long-awaited and absolutely riveting treatise on violence, Rising Up and Rising Down.
A labor of seventeen years, Vollmann's first book of non-fiction since 1992's An Afghanistan Picture Show is a gravely urgent invitation to look back at the world's long, bloody path and find some threads of meaning, wisdom, and guidance to plot a moral course. From the street violence of prostitutes and junkies to the centuries-long battles between the Native Americans and European colonists, Vollmann's mesmerizing imagery and compelling logic is presented with authority born of astounding research and personal experience.
Rising Up and Rising Down includes a series of interviews, photographs, United Nations "situation maps," illustrations, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings. The book, 3,298 pages long, will be published as seven hardcover volumes and released simultaneously in a burgundy, cloth-covered box with gold foil detail.
Don't miss out on this incredible work of non-fiction-sure to be a collector's item with Vollmann enthusiasts and inquisitive-types alike. (Note: With a limited print run of 3,500 copies, copies will go very fast.)
